These kits never disappoint. Solid construction, thoughtful design, and well-written instructions. No frustration – just fun!

Tiny Baking Kit | Smart Lab

This kit, and this brand, are great. These are real deal, solid construction baking materials that you can actually use with a real oven to create tiny little baking creations. You’ve probably seen videos of “tiny baking” or the like before. This kit includes everything you need (other than the ingredients) to create recipes just like those. There is even a mini recipe book with 20 complete recipes.

This is a great kit to use with kids to practice and understand the fundamentals of baking, without using huge amounts of ingredients, or leaving a giant mess to deal with. It’s also a great gift for the baker in your life who loves to create, but doesn’t want pounds and pounds of baked goods around all the time!

Tiny Greenhouse Gardening Kit | Smart Lab

Another great kit from Smart Lab! This tiny gardening kit doubles as a tiny greenhouse to store and nurture your new plant friends as well. A great primer on growing vegetables and other plants from scratch, or a fun little way to start your own tiny greenhouse if you don’t have the space for a real one.

This kit includes a 48 page science booklet, complete with 20 different science activities. A cute set to get started with, for anyone with a budding green thumb.

Tiny Ice Cream | Smart Lab

Smart Lab makes great miniature kits. They have a baking kit, a science kit, a robotics kit–you get the idea. They have this down to a science and they do it well. This ice cream treat making kit is no different.

This kit comes with 21 pieces that allow you to make the 15 unique recipes contained in the tiny recipe book. This kit has everything you need (other than ingredients) to put together some truly impressive miniature dessert treats. A great, kid-friendly activity, or a fun way to challenge your cooking skills as an adult!

All of the pieces are high-quality and designed just like their full-sized counterparts, so they’ll hold up to real kitchen use.

Tiny Circuits | Smart Lab

Another great kit from Smart Labs, the forerunner in tiny educational kits. In the fashion of some of their other great sets, this kit includes everything you need for an introduction to circuitry and electrical engineering–with real world examples, that you can create and manipulate.

This kit contains 12 different pieces, and a big, educational fold-out complete with 20 different arrangements and activities that can be put together with the circuitry kit. Perfect for curious kids!

Tiny Robots | Smart Lab

Smart Lab makes great miniature kits. From the food-centric, (baking, ice cream) to science and robotics, they have a knack for creating great, working kits that help you to understand the basics of the concept. This robotics kit is no different. This is a really engaging and fun toy for anyone who is developing an interest in robotics.

The kit comes with 26 different robotics pieces, which can be repurposed to build 15 different robot models. It comes with a fold-out explaining how the pieces connect, and the different models you can create. This is the same type of content being taught in beginner STEM and STEAM classes, and is a great introduction to robotics, mechanical engineering, and modern, hands-on problem-solving.

Tiny Science | Smart Lab

Another great educational kit from the folk at Smart Lab. They know how to shrink real-deal experiments, activities, and challenges into a tiny package. This tiny science kit is hardly bigger than a deck of cards, but it contains 24 individual pieces, a 48 page lab journal, and instructions for 20 different experiments you can run.

This kit comes highly reviewed on Amazon–as is expected with the Smart Lab brand. Check out the other options they offer!
